Mary Poppins Comes to Wharton Center

Perhaps for most of us, the Mary Poppins we remember is a bold, yet generous nanny with the heart of a child and the hand of a magician. It was the 1964 Disney film that painted this idealistic picture of the woman who claims to be, "practically perfect in every way." However, this is far from the original Mary Poppins who, as an edgy, overbearing authority figure, was the subject of the popular P.L. Travers children's novels. It is this Mary Poppins, the one who can be "downright rude," that East Lansing will be hosting throughout the month of November. The show begins today and runs through Nov. 21 at MSU's Wharton Center. Read more here!
